Dr. Sklar:
But overall, by the end of pregnancy sexual function has really diminished over what it normally is, and postpartum as well, sexual functioning is much diminished and although the majority of couples will get back to normal sexual functioning by about six months postpartum, there still remain a large number of women with sexual function difficulties and that problem is increased in women who are breast feeding.
